Controversies The United States Army has been criticised for using the base as a detention facility, and for the conditions faced by the detainees there. In November 2005, Alvaro Gil-Robles, the human rights envoy of the Council of Europe, described the camp as a "smaller version of Guantanamo" following a visit.

While there is a facility on Camp Bondsteel that was used in the past to hold detainees from the war in Kosovo, Turkey, Iraq, and Afganistan. However, such criticism may be unwarranted as the Bondsteel Detention Facility has mostly been empty and unutilized. Alvaro Gil-Robles (born in September 9, 1944 in Lissabon, Portugal) is a Spanish jurist and human rights activist. ...
